Stellar Tour! Exceeded Expectations! Thank you Hunter and PRS staff!

My husband scheduled a tour for our family of six for our oldest daughter's 16th birthday. Not only was the visit/tour of PRS factory one of the most incredible family outings we have ever had, it is also one of the most artistically enriching, educational, engaging, and almost 90 minutes long!

Our tour guide, Hunter, had just gotten in from Boston on a red-eye due to an east coast storm over Thanksgiving holiday travel time. Poor guy was absolutely beat! Red eyes indeed. Instead of cancelling, he was on-time and primed for presenting all that is done at PRM from acquisition of materials (that maple is to die for!!!) to shaping, inlays, glue, application of hues and placement of electronics to testing, quality control, etc.

Our four young kiddos are really interested in music, and this was quite an education, as well as an inherent peek into the makers who produce these elusive guitars (you cannot buy they straight from the factor floor, so don't even try!). Despite my lack of musical bent, I was hanging on every word. Hunter graciously answered all our questions (thrown at him by our brood in belt-fed fashion) and allowed us to ask the artisans questions, watch them hone their craft, and even offered asides into how each and every completed guitar bears the names of the craftsmen (and women!) who's hands contributed to the finished piece.

I can't say enough about the tour guide or the tour itself. Something any native Marylander would take pride in, particularly someone from Southern Maryland. Not only was the tour beyond informative, it was also a rare day out that cost us nothing, filled our senses (the smell of the wood is intoxicating), and will be remembered with great enthusiasm!!!

Thank you so much Hunter and PRS staff! Now if I could only stop my husband from stalking your library collection of guitars online after that stellar tour....
